Today's Timericks.

 





White House Draws Up New $1.8 Trillion Virus-Relief Proposal.  (WSJ)

@kristinapet


Mr. Trump is now morose/with elections drawing close/He can't

win without a sop/as his polls so steady drop/Thus he wants to

give away/cash before Election Day/Biden he has plans to 

wreck/by bribing voters with a check.



TRUMP ENGINEERED A SUDDEN TAX WINDFALL IN 2016

 AS CAMPAIGN FUNDS DWINDLED  (NYT)

@susannecraig   @mmcintire   @russbuettner


When Trump felt the bankruptcy axes/he fiddled around 

with his taxes/and now he's so rich/the son of a gun/more 

bloated and arrogant waxes.



USPS on-time performance dips again as millions prepare

 to mail 2020 ballots.  (WaPo)

@jacobbogage


I use the mail to pay my bills/and sending postcards

gives me thrills/Even fliers in my box/my modest world so

fully rocks/Don't knock the postmen with headlines/playing 

up their sad declines/I've lived in other countries where/mail 

disappears into thin air/I think our postal system's fine/(but

just in case -- I'll vote online.)


Warning: Don’t Touch This Hairy-Looking Caterpillar.  (NYT)

Contact with a puss caterpillar can cause a painful reaction as well as a rash, fever, muscle cramps or swollen glands, experts caution.


Although it may look like a wig/this critter is a poison fig/One touch

 and blisters will appear/upon your neck and feet and ear/When

 God sends plagues he's never spare/They always make us scream and swear.
